You are right. I was thinking the same thing. They might have to do the full code rewrite after all and release their own device. I doubt if anyone is interested in buying one and/or replacing their OS for Facebook integration. Other way might be for them to offer it to hardware manufacturers who might market one or two fb devices.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51599e9369bedd0831000016Lasivian LeandrosMon, 01 Apr 2013 10:49:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51599e9369bedd0831000016
Facebook is just another passing fad really. They want to stay front and center as much as possible to keep the next great thing from pushing them to the side.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51599e3b6bb3f7100f00000cjacknMon, 01 Apr 2013 10:48:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51599e3b6bb3f7100f00000c

With Android, because of its open source structure, ANYONE can do much more ...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159985669bedd462100000cwrong assumptionMon, 01 Apr 2013 10:23:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159985669bedd462100000c
"I think people want [Facebook] to be very integrated into all of the different devices that they have..."
Nope. People want to keep control of their own devices that they paid for.

Don't the hardware manufacturers already extensively modify Android already? This is one reason given to explain why Android OS upgrades lag so far behind for each device - the hardware companies have to implement the upgrade for each device with its own customizations.
If so, won't it be difficult for FaceBook to ship a reskin of Android for all these different devices with their unique implementations of Android?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159931aeab8eae25400001bmel o deeMon, 01 Apr 2013 10:00:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5159931aeab8eae25400001b
To "take over Android" via a single HTC device (which no one will purchase)?
